Question 1

When should I use a gate valve instead of a butterfly?

Accepted Answer

Slide gates handle larger openings, abrasive ash and full-bore shut-off under hoppers. Butterflies are more compact for ducts and lighter powder isolation. High-temperature ash outlets often favour gates or flap valves.

Question 2

Manual, pneumatic or electric?

Accepted Answer

Manual suits infrequent isolation. Pneumatic is fast for process interlocking. Electric / electro-hydraulic suits remote or heavy gates. Share opening size, cycle rate and available utilities.
